GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Two political rallies, one in favor of President Donald Trump and one in opposition, were held in downtown Grand Rapids on Saturday.
March 4 Trump rallies were held across U.S. as people marched in support of the president and the sweeping changes his administration is making.
A pro-Trump rally was held at Calder Plaza with speeches from those who support the president and denunciation of those who they believe oppose him.
“So we’re here celebrating each other and the great things our president is doing for our country,” said rally organizer Audrea Lemons.
Meanwhile, a significantly larger group of protesters gathered first at Rosa Parks Circle and then made their way around downtown Grand Rapids.
“Rather than just opposing the idea of Trump, we are supporting American values and we believe America is already great and we’re here to support the country we love,” said Lauren Taylor of Cascade, who helped organize the gathering called March 4 America.
Grand Rapids police say there were no problems on Saturday and both sides remained peaceful.
Attendees on both sides agreed that these type of demonstrations will continue.
